Rickey protege was the late great Benny Cummings. He was a very animated director (Who was way before his time) Rickey is actually doing Benny Cummings version of this song. Not to take anything from Ricky Dillard because we all know he too is well crafted in his art... Here's Benny Cummings version with Kings Temple Choir . ua-cam.com/video/7mZ7YirvEPI/v-deo.html
I’m sure that everyone in that choir has to be disciplined because if they weren’t, it would be chaotic and Minister Dillard wouldn’t have it any other way!
Black gospel choirs learn music by rote. Culturally, it's an extension of negro spirituals where slaves sang repetitive songs while working, often with hidden messages on how to escape to freedom. This choir is following specific signals from the director on what to sing. He can improvise and stretch this song out 15 minutes if he wanted to, and the choir will follow him.
This choir gives me goose pimples such skill and dedication that Our Almighty God has put into both director and choir leaves me breathless . It is an honor and a blessing to show off what we are working with and to give back what he has placed in us . Hallelujah fantasy performance.
My GOD!!!!! Ricky Is A Maestro, He helps his choir with every tone change and intraval,,, I would love to sing with him for GOD!!! What he does with a choir takes A GIFT only GOD can Give!!!
TeaJà Stapp crazy this is Ricky will get most of the credit - but it’s the CHOIR who has to really really pay attention. The littlest mistake is magnified in a song like this.
When I think of Amazing Choir Directors I think of: "Hezekiah Walker", "Donald Lawrence", The Late Great "O'landa Draper" & "Ricky Dillard" these gentlemen has ushered in a new era for choirs and made Gospel Music even Cooler. 😊🙏
He was definitely a student of the one and only Benny Cummings & the Kings Temple Choir. (This is an original of Benny Cummings ) Look him up. You will see why Ricky admired his gift and talent so much. RIP Benny Cummings. You left your mark on many. Great Job Ricky! Well Done!
Thank you for saying this. I remember listening to a very similar arrangement as a kid. My brother and I would be in the car laughing and singing, “It…i-it…it..” 😊
This the kind of stuff COGIC and MATTI MOSS was famous for!!! We don’t even do music like this in the COGIC church anymore.., not even in national convocation, or the other conventions throughout the year…. it’s so sad!!! This is so RIDICULOUSLY POWERFUL and just goosebumps beautiful!!!….
Ain't NOBODY doin THIS HERE on today but Ricky! Those rehearsals were gruesome back in the day and they're STILL sweaty today even during the pandemic! It's a gift and it belongs to the Lord!
I love how he puts his all in everything he does no half doing nothing and that's what God requires when we put our all in what we do for the kingdom of God
I Mis Singing in a Choir like this🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Only, "The Choir Master"💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 Thank you for this post it's Christmas Eve 2020 and I needed this!!! "IT IS WELL!!"" HALLELUJAH 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I love this...it gave me chills! I love his choir. Do you need a male Soprano with the Stratosphere range? I got you..lol I got them F6, G6 and A6 in me.
This rendition was arranged by dr. Walt Whitman of the soul children of chicago (dr. Ricky Dillard hometown). But with that one the Sopranos had their solo on the chorus before the Altos, but Dr. Dillard did that.
Second version I’ve seen of this.. Ricky Dillard is too blessed!!! Choir on point!! ..... I just needed the drummer to wake up 😂😂 everybody go check out the other version he made of this vid.. it’s like 3 mins long
A touch of the Choral Vocals, and Gospel Sound within a Hymn, reminds me of, Dr. Lucylle Lemon, and "The Lucylle Lemon Gospel Chorus" of Detroit, MI...
Is this performance on Spotify? My brother and I used to take great joy in listening to this rendition (probably performed by a different choir) when we were children.
Absolutely the Master of all choir directors!!!! No body like the incomparable RICKY DILLARD!!! OMG
The fact that I’m just now realizing I’m in this video… Ricky did not come to play with us.
NEVER!!! Does Brother Dillard come to play.
I miss this. I get Tash Cobbs, William McDowell etc yah, yah, yah... but this needs to come back.
I agree 💯. I'm so sick of this watered down secular worship music...Nicki Minaj rapping on your Gospel track. Seriously?
I totally agree Arlene!!!!!
Yessssss !
What?
WOW!!!!!!! mannn i miss choir like this!
Who else is watching in 2019?
Wow! Great!👏👏👏👏
Emily Roze ✋🏽😁

Jeremiah M He indulged! They certainly immersed themselves.

Jeremiah M You are so right. I didn’t realize how his approach to a song is so different and I love it.
💜Amen Jeremiah!💜
This is flawless,never seen anything like this
I'd love to get a hold of the sheet music to this arrangement... it is unusually unique. 5 of 5 stars for an outstanding and disciplined choir.
I’m sure that everyone in that choir has to be disciplined because if they weren’t, it would be chaotic and Minister Dillard wouldn’t have it any other way!
This is a black church ain’t a bit of sheet music 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, no sheet music bro. I'm sure that's not how they roll

It's Billy River's arrangement..It is well.. look him up on here.. It's on here!
HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!! THEY DON'T MAKE CHOIR DIRECTORS LIKE THIS NO MO......😩😩😩❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏💃💃💃💃
this choir is so solid.
This choir gives me goose pimples such skill and dedication that Our Almighty God has put into both director and choir leaves me breathless . It is an honor and a blessing to show off what we are working with and to give back what he has placed in us . Hallelujah fantasy performance.
We did nothing to deserve this 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
There is directing 101, then there is Ricky Dillard ! I could not be in this choir . I’d mess it all up!
My GOD!!!!! Ricky Is A Maestro, He helps his choir with every tone change and intraval,,, I would love to sing with him for GOD!!! What he does with a choir takes A GIFT only GOD can Give!!!
I dont need a whole lot...all I need is a flashback!
COME ON SOMEBODY!!!😍🥰
Masterful directing...look at the attention to detail. I bet the rehearsals were amazing!!
I don't think I would have survived rehearsals lol. This is completely AWESOME!
